I still hate Josh Donaldson but that was big. Hopefully, that's the "spark."
   That's Jackie Donaldson to you  ....and yes that was big

If ever they needed a big swing out of a struggling player.

Also Boone can try and justify pinch hitting IKF for Hicks all he wants-give me a freaking break.
There are times where IKF can be useful as a pinch hitter. Not striking out a lot and getting the ball in play can be important. If there is a runner on 3rd and 1 out, striking out is such a huge negative.

So that's what I get for typing in anger. What happened was Boone lifted IKF for Hicks as a pinch hitter.

Ridiculous.  As you said, IKF puts the ball in play and has a better OBP.

Plenty of reasons to be angry with this team right now. Luckily they were so good early.

Starting pitching overachieved early.

Bullpen lost a few key guys and Holmes isn't pitching like Mariano anymore.

Offense always had a few dead spots, and without Stanton and Carpenter, that is exacerbated.

Luckily the AL will have a few bad playoff teams but I do not see them beating the Astros. Would love to be wrong.

Weren't they once sailing along with this record?



Right now I wouldn't like their chances playing in Williamsport, Pa.

The Jays closed the gap to 7 games...the division isn't a lock for you guys anymore.

Manoah tomorrow. Then you guys have Scherzer and DeGrom.  Ooof.

In the interest of peace (if the Toronto Raptor's NBA championship is any indication) let's hope the BJ's don't win

Manoah: check,  Scherzer: check; deGrom Walker: check (though in back to back games they made bonehead costly plays)

My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about
